LYGODIUM SCANDENS, 



(Japanese Climbing Fern.) 



A Climbing Fern from the East Indies. A most graceful plant, 

 growing from one to fifty feet, as desired. Quite as easy of cul- 

 ture as the Smilax ; although climbing, when supported by 

 strings or wires, it can be used, with equal advantage, as a 

 drooping plant, for baskets or vases : as a house plant for the 

 parlor, nothing is more easy of culture.

DOUBLE WHITE OLEANDER. 



The Double White Oleander is quite a scarce plant. The 

 flowers are pure white, double, but, on small plants, are not 

 well developed, and purchasers must therefore not be disap- 

 pointed if the flowers at first are not perfect.

 flowers of the most delicate tragrance. Hardy in the Southern

 fine, being well adapted for that purpose. We offer six rare and 

 distinct sorts. [See Cut).
